Subject: Lyr Add: Because I love you so Machree.
A few months ago a request was made for this song, as I cannot locate the thread I will include the lyrics.
I do not see this song in the DT which was popular in Ireland around the 1940s.

                Because I love you so Machree.

                Because I love you so Machree,

                There`s no one else but you,

               Your Irish eyes have conquered me,
            
                Whate`er you will, I do.

               Like sunrise o the Wicklow hills,

                  You set my heart aglow,

             My bosom with sweet rapture thrills,

                   Because I love you so.



             Because I love you so Mavrone,

               I haste when you call,
         
             I live for you and you alone,

             I`ll gladly give you all,

          Like sunrise on the Wicklow hills,

            You set my heart aglow,

          My bosom with sweet rapture thrills,

                Because I love you so.

And to think that some poor song-writer sat up half the night to "compose" this, only for it to be murdered by by half of the Tenors in Ireland.
They don`t write them like that anymore, and a multitude of Tenors cried "THANK GOD". Ard Mhacha
